A castle-like villa damaged by the 2012 earthquake. However, it is an interesting stop in the middle of the plain.

From Wikipedia (it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_della_Giovannina):

The Villa or Castello della Giovannina was dedicated to Giovanni II of Bentivoglio, Lord of Bologna, who commissioned it in 1490 from Sebastiano Serlio,[citation needed] and built it in 1504. Ercole Aldrovandi was also responsible for the construction of the imposing noble palace ( around the year 1565), then heavily restructured in the late 19th century. In fact, the current appearance was given to it by the restorations carried out between the years 1897 and 1902 by the architect Giuseppe Ceri, who also had the oratory built.

Currently the Villa is given in concession to a catering company for the organization of events, such as weddings, conferences, etc.

The two earthquakes of 20 May and 29 May 2012 damaged some parts of the towers and the adjacent chapel (especially the small bell tower)
